    Many years ago I saw a report on an elderly woman that killed a bunch of people sitting on one of those concrete benches at a bus stop in Florida (of course). Apparently, she never hit the brakes. Only the resistance of the bodies, concrete bench and building beyond, stopped the car. She was essentially charged with a traffic violation. And it turns out this wasn’t the first time she had done something like this. This was literally decades ago so I don’t know if or how the laws have changed but I remember thinking at the time, if you want to get rid of someone and get away with it, that’s the way to do it.
